George W. Bush
See also George W. Bush/Presidency for the actions during his time in office
George Walker Bush, the 43rd President of the USA, is not to be confused with his father, George H. W. Bush, CIA operative and the 41st U.S. president. He is brother of Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida. Investigative journalist Russ Baker found it so remarkable that some so lacking could reach such high office, that he decided to write a book about how he got the job - this became the highly recommended Family of Secrets, which looks in detail at Bush the elder.

Background
George Bush Jr. is son of a lifelong intelligence operative, George (H. W.) Bush Sr. He was sent to Yale university where (like his father and grandfather) he became a member of the Skull and Bones society. He went to Harvard Business school, but showed little aptitude for business. This did not stop him following the pattern set by his father, of using business as a cover for other activities.[1]
Texas governor
When he was Governor of Texas 1995-2000, he also presided over 152 executions, the highest number for any governor in modern American history and more than any other state leader during that period.[2] One notable - and curious - exception was Henry Lee Lucas, who at various times confessed to up to like 600 of the most brutal, horrendous serial killings imaginable. Out of all the people who came before George Bush to have their cases reviewed, he was the only one granted a pardon. Dave McGowan concluded that he was killing on behalf of a cult, and that his victims were in fact targeted for specific purposes, and that his job basically was to make them look like random, senseless killings, when in fact many of them had specific motives.[3]
2004 US Presidential Election
Skull and Bones member George W. Bush won the 2004 US Presidential Election against his fellow bonesman John Kerry. Family of Secrets details how misdirection was used to handle the difficult question of Bush's missing military service records.
Later activities
“I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office.”
Bush Jr (2009) [4]
Since 2009, Bush has received a total in excess of $15 million for giving speeches, sometimes for as much as $200,000 each.[5]
In May 2022, he made "one the greatest Freudian slips of all time" when he referred to “the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.” [6]

| Jimmy Carter | “Nowadays, because of the unwarranted invasion of Iraq by Bush and Blair, which was a completely unjust adventure based on misleading statements, and the lack of any effort to resolve the Palestinian issue, [there is] massive Islamic condemnation of the United States. (...) (American media organisations), have been cowed, because they didn't want to be unpatriotic. There has been a lack of inquisitive journalism. In fact, it's hard to think of a major medium in the United States that has been objective and fair and balanced, and critical when criticism was deserved” | Jimmy Carter | 2004 |
| Contadora Island | “Surely you've heard the rumors about why Noriega was taken down and today rots in a U.S. prison." "I've heard that he had cameras on Contadora Island." It was an infamous resort off Panama's coast, a "safe haven" where U.S. businessmen could treat politicians to every conceivable vice. I had visited—and used—Contadora several times during my EHM days. "You heard who got caught by those cameras?" Jose nodded. "From where I sit, those rumors ring awfully true. I've experienced things that take them out of the realm of fantasy." He cocked his head. "So have you." He paused, looking around. "And it terrifies me." ” | John Perkins | 2007 |
| Jörg Haider | “Asked about the impression that Saddam is better for him than Bush, Haider said: "The choice is really hard for me. Both have been at war with international law and committed human rights violations. The one is lucky enough to command a world power, hence the power to write the laws, while the other has been a weak dictator"” | Jörg Haider | |
| US/Presidential election/2000 | “There was one exact moment, in fact, when I knew for sure that Al Gore would Never be President of the United States, no matter what the experts were saying — and that was when the whole Bush family suddenly appeared on TV and openly scoffed at the idea of Gore winning Florida. It was Nonsense, said the Candidate, Utter nonsense. . .Anybody who believed Bush had lost Florida was a Fool. The Media, all of them, were Liars & Dunces or treacherous whores trying to sabotage his victory. . . Here was the whole bloody Family laughing & hooting & sneering at the dumbness of the whole world on National TV. The old man was the real tip-off. The leer on his face was almost frightening. It was like looking into the eyes of a tall hyena with a living sheep in its mouth. The sheep's fate was sealed, and so was Al Gore's.” | Hunter S. Thompson |
